[Tony&Cheri]

Speaking for myself I think that "joke" has worn pretty thin. Would a joke about the hypocracy of Republican Christians being more concerned about whether or not their local grocery clerk says "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" instead of caring about who is cold, hungry or homeless be treated as funny on this board...or would there be outrage? I think the latter.

The whole right wing "people are too PC" attitude on this board needs some counter balance...and making cheap jokes at the expense of people who disagree with such philosophy isn't the way to achieve it. And I'm not quite sure how anyone gets to "assure" others that the purpose of this "joke" was not to denigrate anyone but merely to poke fun at them (!!!) . What the hell is the difference between making fun of someone (making them other and lesser than you) and denigrating them?
